Fault Mapper Cable Length Meter & Fault Locator Alphanumeric TDR Model CA7024 The Fault Mapper Model CA7024 is a hand-held, alphanumeric, TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) Cable Length Meter and Fault Locator, designed to measure the length of electrical and communication cables. It can also indicate the distance to a fault in the cable (open or short), given access to only one end of a two or more conductor cable. By incorporating fast-edge step TDR technology, the Model CA7024 measures cable length and indicates the distance to open or short circuit faults, to a range of 6000 ft or 2000m (user selectable), on virtually any type of cable. The Model CA7024 indicates the cable length or fault distance and description, alphanumerically on a 128 x 64 graphical LCD. An internal library of standard cable types enables accurate measurement without the necessity of entering Velocity of Propagation (Vp) information, and the Model CA7024 automatically compensates for different cable impedances. The Model CA7024 incorporates an oscillating tone generator that is detectable with a standard tone receiver for use in tracing cables and identification of cable location. The Model CA7024 also displays a Voltage Detected warning and sounds an alarm when connected to a cable energized by more than 10V, which prohibits testing.

Tone Receiver/ Cable Tracer Model TR02 Features Compatible with AEMC Models CA7024, CA7026 and CA7028 Contains a frequency selective hi-gain, hi-impedance amplifier for clear pick-up Rugged, moisture resistant mylar cone speaker Convenient operation from a standard 9V battery Volume control adjustment Audio output jack for head phones Pen size, fits into your pocket Applications Locate cable runs Detect breaks in cables Find cables in panels Model TR02 The Tone Receiver/Cable Tracer Model TR02 is a small, hand-held tracer that will aid in the identification of tone carrying wires without piercing their insulation. It has a self-contained amplifier and a rugged, moisture resistant mylar cone speaker. When used in conjunction with the tone transmitter function of the Models CA7024, CA7026 or CA7028, wire tracing and locating is quick and efficient. One turns the unit on and, while it is depressed activates the receiver. A volume control allows you to set the speaker loudness to a desirable level. An audio output jack facilitates the use of an optional, commercially available ear piece which inhibits the Model TR02 s internal speaker. This provides quiet operation in office environments while allowing the operator to hear the signal clearly. Model TR02 used to find cables in a panel.
